Floor clearance on the left side needs 18" before meeting code. Therefore you will probably have trouble getting insurance.

Thanks Rusty...I'll see what my options are, masonry-wise, as well...

Just an FYI about 6 years ago my insurance company sent me a notification indicating that they were instituting an increase in my premium due to the fact I have a wood stove in my house. They did not ask or seemingly care whether or not it was installed correctly, inspected, permitted when installed, or anything. However I would bet that if it were not installed correctly or to code they have the option to refuse coverage of damage that may occur as a result.
